Property details
About 668 Longfellow Ave
Adjacent to the prestigious Manhattan Beach Hill Section on an expansive 60-foot-wide lot—more than double the size of its neighbors—this Hermosa Beach stunner offers the space, style, and flexibility that families crave. Thoughtfully updated with designer-selected materials including new wood floors, fresh paint, and updated lighting, the home welcomes you into a beautiful open-concept great room with a striking dimensional stone fireplace. The living spaces flow to a huge 500-square-foot deck, which is sure to become your favorite outdoor space. And the crown jewel is the "Eagle’s Nest" rooftop perch, where breathtaking ocean views offer the ideal setting for your morning coffee or a well-earned sunset toast. Future perk - there’s potential to add a 3rd story that would feature a whole floor of panoramic ocean views. The newly remodeled kitchen is nothing short of spectacular, featuring a large island with seating for four, stunning quartzite, quartz, and ivory onyx porcelain finishes, and two pantries—one with pullouts and another walk-in with laundry, storage and room for an extra fridge. Also on the main level you’ll find two bedrooms and a large bath that collectively serve as an owner’s suite and office, plus access to the front yard, side yard, and multiple decks. But it’s the downstairs level that kids will love. With its own secondary living room, this space is teenager-approved, offering a retreat for movie nights, gaming marathons, or just a little privacy. Two additional bedrooms and two baths complete the lower level. One of the bedrooms is huge and offers the flexibility to be used for guests, a home-based business, studio, gym or rec room. Outdoor living is effortless, with multiple spaces to suit your mood. Socialize in the fenced front yard, enjoy fresh citrus from your private side yard, unwind in the secluded backyard off the lower level or entertain on the big decks. With smart home features, cedar-lined closets, ample storage, EV charger and a garage fully equipped with built-ins, every detail is designed for convenience. And with Mira Costa High School just minutes away (a 4-minute bike, 2-minute drive, if you're counting), plus easy access to Valley Park, the Greenbelt, award-winning schools, neighborhood restaurants and local favorite Lazy Acres Market, this home is truly the perfect blend of the South Bay lifestyle and everyday functionality.
